[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1998454, member: 3455"] Target shooting will eventually need magnification, at 600 I usually run 24x and if conditions allow go higher. Mil/Mil is nice - but you get 1/10 knobs, which for target shooting is pretty coarse - F-Class target X-ring is 0.5 MOA; 1/10 click takes you from one edge to another. Of course you can hold-over - but then we are back to magnification capabilities. If you are going hunting with the same scope - I would recommend covered turrets: I've had turrets turn by catching on clothing, grass, etc. Nikon Monarchs glass is excellent and side focus is nice, but reticles are too fat and internal adjustment is minimal. SWFA scopes get a lot of rave reviews (I've never had one) - but for the price you'll be in fixed power; works OK on targets - hunting not so much. Burris makes excellent scopes - I have a few on my hunting rifles; but FFII knobs are not the easiest to turn with gloves, and TAC knobs are exposed. I've shot a few matches and hunted with 6.5-20x44 Vortex. It is really hard to beat for the price. All adjustments are easy in gloves (aka hunting), turrets are nice and big and covered, side focus is great for both target and hunting. Bottom line recommendation: [url]http://swfa.com/Vortex-65-20x44-Viper-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P13285.aspx[/url] or the one from midway if got to have mil/mil (plus zero stop). [/QUOTE]
